OLN covers spring classics, Tour of Lankawie (malaysia),
Giro D'Italia, TdF and Vuelta.
While its a bit thin on the classics they do show
a whole lot of cycling.
I haven't seen a list of what they are showing this year
but their coverage in the past has been great (well great for US, not so good if this were Europe )

Right now, it seems like OLN tries to make it appear that they don't even cover cycling.
If anyone catches them releasing any sort of schedule for any road races soon (website), please post a note of it here!

15 years ago this kind of coverage would have been a dream for me. I was stuck getting my news from Velo News and TDF footage consisted of 30 minutes nightly on ESPN, complete with pretty shots of sunflower covered fields and feel-good pieces about various riders.

Just so you all know, OLNtv has an updated schedule on their website.
This looks sweet.

Paris-Nice and Criterium International have daily coverage in March
Milan-San Remo, Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, Amstel Gold, and Liege-Bastogne-Liege all same day coverage this spring, as well as a few others being shown live.
Daily coverage of the Tour of Romandie and Tour de Suisse this year as well...
And there will only be three Tour de France stages that won't be shown live.

I receive OLN on digital cable, but I dont think is the same channel. Every day there's old/fat dudes in camouflage fishing and hunting.

Yup, sadly that's it! From what you read on this board, it would seem like OLN is a cycling only cable channel. Unfortunately, related to its total programming, cycling represents a VERY small piece of the OLN pie. However, since they are the only game in town that covers any cycling - we have no choice but to take what we can get.

Seriously, 90% (that may be a low estimate) of their programing time is dedicated to guns or fishing, with an occasional rodeo thrown in the mix.
